Fae Morgana Barbone, age 40, was reported missing out of Williamstown, Massachusetts, on Thursday, March 7.

She was last seen in Maine, where she had an “interaction” with a police officer, according to Williamstown Police. Sightings of the woman have also been reported in North Adams and the Carolinas.

The case got a major break at around 9 a.m. Tuesday, March 19, when someone reported a suspicious vehicle parked in Williamstown at the end of Berlin Road, a rural, isolated hiking area near the state line.

A check of the Ford Fiesta’s registration confirmed it belonged to Barbone, police said.

Due to the remote location and difficult terrain, Williamstown Police called in additional search crews to look for the woman, including New York and Massachusetts state police and environmental conservation police. Crews also used drones and a K-9 unit but found no sign of Barbone.

A “large presence” of law enforcement was back out in the area on Wednesday, March 20, police said. Residents were advised to avoid traveling to the end of Berlin Road due to a lack of parking or areas to turn around.

Barbone is described as 6-foot-2 and 180 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. She was last seen wearing a light blue sweater and black leggings.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Williamstown Police at 413-458-5733 or their local police.
